Starting CIFS server (JLAN) with programmatic (non-XML) config

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Has anybody successfully run the JLAN CIFS server stand-alone, with all configuration done programmatically rather than via .properties, xml, files, etc?

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this, and various things I have tried yield NullPointerExceptions deep from the bowels of the server.

The closest I got to a working config is below, which allowed connections, but after authenticating gave an error to the effect that there were no valid shares on this server. The code is a bit of a hacked-up mess, but because I couldn't find any documentation, and there isn't much Javadoc, it was the best I could do.

DiskInterface disk = new JavaFileDiskDriver();

ConfigElement configElement = new ConfigElement("", "") {
   @Override
   public ConfigElement getChild(String name) {
      if ("LocalPath".equals(name)) {
         return new ConfigElement("", "/tmp/cifs");
      }
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Name " + name);
   }
};

DiskDeviceContext context = (DiskDeviceContext) disk.createContext("theContext", configElement);  // Should be static

ServerConfiguration config = new ServerConfiguration("config");

CIFSConfigSection cifs = new CIFSConfigSection(config);
cifs.setHostAnnouncer(false);
cifs.setNetBIOSSMB(false);
cifs.setNetBIOSDebug(true);
cifs.setTcpipSMB(true);
cifs.setTcpipSMBPort(5000);
cifs.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator()); // Allows any user
cifs.setServerName("Test Server");
cifs.setDomainName("Test Domain");

FilesystemsConfigSection filesystems = new FilesystemsConfigSection(config);
final DiskSharedDevice dev = new DiskSharedDevice("TheDisk", disk, context);
filesystems.addShare(dev);

GlobalConfigSection global = new GlobalConfigSection(config);

CoreServerConfigSection core = new CoreServerConfigSection(config);
core.setThreadPool(2, 8);
core.setMemoryPool(DefaultMemoryPoolBufSizes, DefaultMemoryPoolInitAlloc, DefaultMemoryPoolMaxAlloc);

SecurityConfigSection security = new SecurityConfigSection(config);
security.setShareMapper(new DefaultShareMapper() {
   @Override
   public SharedDeviceList getShareList(String host, SrvSession sess, boolean allShares) {
      SharedDeviceList list = new SharedDeviceList();
      list.addShare(dev);
      return list;
   }
});

The configuration of JLAN has always been tied into XML.    

Alfresco itself is an example of configuring JLAN programatically.   We don't have any JLAN configuration files in alfresco.
